Daddy Long Legs Spider

Hiya All,

Ba Humbug third time lucky damn server's been busy

Found this little one scampering through some flower this afternoon, it paused briefly for a photo shoot then was off at great speed.

#2 is my favorite I just liked the way the light caught it's eye as it popped out the shadows

Cheers for now
Mark

Superb... I just love the way their legs work with their body so close to the ground.

Must be really fun to be a spider like that.

nice set mark yeah #2 for me to

Lovely like #3. Good angle.

Great shots! I like #1 best. Seems sharper, better contrast, and something that coould be used in a good HD movie. I wish I could do that well with my 105!

Arrrrg it's the war of the worlds.... Nice shots Mark I like your first shot Best. Superb sharpness to it.

i like #3 looks like a basket till you come closer.

Are you sure these are daddylonglegs spiders? They look like harvesters to me. Daddylonglegs have longer slimmer bodies. Nice shots though.

Love these shots Mark, number one and three for me, 2 is spoiled by the shadow of the foreground. I understand how that goes.
Great stuff though, keep them coming.

Good shots mark - I always find these very hard to photograph.

Great shots Mark, these are fascinating creatures - the non- spider lol. I like #2 as well with the eye lol. #3 is a great shot too.

I have ever only had the opportunity to photograph a Harvestman once as I dont see these very often, and the detail that comes through on a macro is really interesting.
